A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Studying Literature: The Essential Companion is a unique guide for English undergraduates. Designed to accompany you throughout the whole of your English degree, this is a one-stop reference for all the information you need, both on the subject and the best way to study it.

Combining a study skills guide, a section on digital resources, a guide to literary theories and theorists and a glossary of literary terms, the companion blends academic rigour with vital practical information. The book is split into 5 main sections:

Section 1: Study guide - takes the student through reading a text, preparing for courses, getting the most out of seminars and lectures, making presentations, finding and using secondary material, writing essays and taking exams.
Section 2: Digital resources - provides a guide to the use of electronic media offering advice on finding information online, downloading texts and criticism, joining discussion groups and using online bibliographies.
Section 3: Literary theory - an introduction to literary theories and approaches.
Section 4: Literary theorists - critical profiles of the main literary theorists.
Section 5: Glossary of literary and theoretical terms - ensures students understand essential terminology for literary analysis.

This second edition has been fully updated with particular emphasis on Section 2: Digital resources. New theories and theorists have also been added, for example, ecocriticism, as well as an index for ease of reference.   

Studying Literature: The Essential Companion provides you with the tools you need to engage with and enjoy English, ultimately ensuring exam confidence and success.
